counted for his remarkably rapid rise to the

selected by his conferences to do was a rather
difficult undertaking. He left this country

Valley Forge! The name suggests Wash

preserved a record OF it In a picture with
Which every American over five years oil

however, that there are plenty Of grown men
AMI wouGCli who do not even know what state
contains Valley Forge. Well, it Is in Penn
s%ylvania, about twenty miles from Phiiadel-
phia, near the ~Schuylkill river. When Wash
tngton's army marched there from the en-
campment at Whitemarsh, a historian says,
its paths might nave been traced In the
snow 10y blood from the lacerated feet of
baIefooted soldiers.n
There is now a prospect that T~ash!aStcn's

be made as beautiful a Mecca as are his head.
quarters at Morristown, N. j. The ground
Is owned by the Centennial and Memorial
association, which has received from the state
5000 recently for the purpose of beautify-
ing and preserving the place. Nearly 5000
stockholders have an interest in this historic
spot. They will hold an annual meeting on
the 18th of June, at which the patriotic order
known as the Sons of America will also give

The hardships of W~ashingeon's army while
at Valley Forge make a theme over which
the historian who has a spark of sentiment in
him grows poetic, Comfort was a condition
entirely unknown to the brave men who
there suffered from more insidious foes than
the enemy.
At the beginning OF the encampment the
army numbered 1000 men, with 2, 900 unfit
for duty. For about four months they had
marched and countermarched and fought to
battle the designs OF a powerful enemy, who
thon numbered 1900 and were in comforta-

and naked, bleeding feet to war with cold,
